3 questions to plan your life around
Michael Hyatt
Most people want more from life than what they're getting. That's natural. We were created with appetites that long for more. The hard part is taking that longing and turning it into reality.

How to begin: Start by doing something that matters
Kevin Eikenberry
I have many books on my shelves about setting goals and creating purpose. Most of those books spend all their energy on the destination, somehow assuming we know how to begin and map the journey to achieving those goals. If you are like me, at least once in your life you have identified a goal, even an important exciting one, but you didn't ever get started. Wouldn't it be great to have guidance on how to begin?
